Road to Valhalla

Valhalla, also known as the Hall of Heroes, was the goal for all real Vikings. Ruled by the Norse God, Odin, only the bravest and fiercest of warriors, both male and female, were able to find their way there. Our own two-wheeled warriors will follow in the Vikings’ footsteps on their own Road to Valhalla, pedalling past the lakes in Finland, through the forests of Sweden and along the fjords in Norway. How many of those that start in Helsinki will be brave and fierce enough to make it to Trondheim and complete the Road to Valhalla?

The Road begins in Helsinki and heads west past the historic Finnish city of Turku before heading out to the Åland Islands, an archipelago of 6,700 islands. The route continues into Sweden and the famous cities of Stockholm and Gothenburg and then on to Norway’s capital, Oslo. Heading south along the Baltic Sea, the route takes the riders along the rugged coast to Stavanger where the riders board a ferry to the picturesque city of Bergen. The last stages pass through Norway’s stunning fjords and mountains before arriving in Trondheim, marking the end of their Road.
